About the game
Pets can be great companions, but they have minds of their own. Work around your attention-seeking pet as you prepare your tea. Pets 4-card expansion adds a menagerie of adorable pets. Whichever one you have, you’ll need to split your focus between your tea and your pet’s interference. Choose a random pet and place it above the row of tea cards. Each pet has its own movement pattern as well as its own restriction which makes the game more difficult. Play and score as normal.

The listed playing time for A Nice Cuppa: Pets is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists A Nice Cuppa: Pets for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
